Unique Way

 


Once all the animals started a training school to train themselves to solve their problems and upgrade their talents. Accordingly training was given for the duck to run fast. Though the duck was an expert in swimming it lasts its skin on the foot while running. Now the duck is not able to swim properly as well as run properly. The squirrel that was expert in climbing trees was given training to fly. During the training it lost its leg and unable to even climb up the tree. We also sometimes behave like this. We wanted to do like others and finally ends in disappointment. Let us not think about doing like others. Rather try to find us the talents that God has given us and get trained in those God given talents alone. Then we are sure of tasting victory.

The story shared here about animals attending a training school and facing challenges when trying to acquire skills outside their natural abilities serves as a cautionary tale. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing and developing our own unique talents and abilities, rather than trying to imitate others.

In our own lives, it can be tempting to compare ourselves to others and strive to be like them. However, this can lead to frustration and disappointment if we neglect or overlook our own inherent talents and strengths. Each individual possesses a unique set of abilities, and by focusing on developing and honing those talents, we have a greater chance of achieving success and fulfillment.

Rather than trying to be someone else or acquire skills that don't align with our natural abilities, it is more beneficial to explore and discover our own God-given talents. By identifying and nurturing these talents, we can cultivate our potential and find fulfillment in using our abilities to the best of our capacity.

It's important to remember that success and victory are subjective and can vary from person to person. By embracing and developing our own talents, we can lead a more authentic and purposeful life, making a positive impact in our own unique way.

Litmus Test

Image
When an aeroplane is flying the pilots will ask questions among themselves which is called Litmus Test.   When a problem comes while flying they must ask if the plane is still flying.   If the answer is yes then it means big danger is not there.   So they don’t have to show so much of interest on that problem. When Apollo 12 was going to the moon, it was struck by the lightning.   Red orange lights started burning.   So the astronauts wanted to do something immediately.   They asked among themselves if it was travelling in the right path.   The answer came in the affirmative for their questions.   After sometime the lights went off one by one and the rocket was moving in the right path. It's true that in various high-pressure situations, whether it's flying an airplane or conducting a space mission like Apollo 12, the concept of the "Litmus Test" or asking critical questions can be crucial. These questions help the pilots or astronauts assess the severity of the p

Children don’t need chocolates

Image
  Few years ago one day evening while walking in Chennai streets, we (my wife & myself) came across a children’s home (orphanage). We thought of going inside. How can we meet strange children with empty hand? So we bought half a kilo of éclairs chocolates from a nearby shop and went inside. While walking in, we heard a gentle voice, “where are you going”? Looking around we saw a lady through a window. We went near and told her that we would like to meet those little children inside. What is in your hands? She asked. Chocolates. The lady told us, we have plenty of food here. Every now and then we receive calls from leading bakeries and chocolate companies to supply us. Normally we say no to such call. Thanks for coming here with a good intention, but our children don’t need chocolates. We were puzzled and blinking. Then came her words, they need your love, physical touch, smile and laughter, your presence. She requested us to spend at least one hour with them. With doubts and not

Pain a Valuable Mechanism

Image
  A girl who acted in the serial, Grey’s Anatomy called herself as a super hero because she never experienced pain in her body.  Though she proclaimed proudly that there was no pain in her body, she was carrying a rare disease called congenital insensitivity to pain.  Those who have that disease will not experience pain.   For a man to live a healthy life he must have the sense of pain.   Otherwise some problem in his body will be unattended for a long time because of lack of pain and which may develop into a serious problem.   In our spiritual life also even if we do a small mistake our heart must be troubled and we must lose the peace of mind.   Then only we will repent and reconcile both with men and God. It is true that the ability to experience pain is crucial for maintaining a healthy life. Pain serves as a protective mechanism that alerts us to potential damage or injury to our bodies. Without the ability to feel pain, individuals with congenital insensitivity to pain may no
